Installation
============
django-helpdesk installation isn't difficult, but it requires you have a bit of existing know-how about Django.
``django-helpdesk`` installation isn't difficult, but it requires you have a bit of existing know-how about Django.
Prerequisites
-------------
Before getting started, ensure your system meets the following dependencies:
* Python 3.4+, or Python 2.7
* Django 1.11.x (Django 2.0 support is coming in a future release; older
releases such as 1.8-1.10 *may* work, but are not guaranteed. Django's
deprecation policy suggests that any project that worked with 1.8 should
be able to upgrade to 1.11 without any problems)
Ensure any extra Django modules you wish to use are compatible before continuing.
**NOTE**: Python 2.7 support is deprecated in both ``django-helpdesk`` and Django.
Future releases of ``django-helpdesk`` may remove support for Python 2.7,
and Django will no longer support Python 2.7 as of the Django 2.0 release.
It is highly recommended to start new projects using Python 3.4+, or migrate
existing projects to Python 3.4+.
